I get one or two punctures a year riding 3500 miles a year which probably takes up ten minutes per year to change inner tubes. All the set up time, constant topping up and mess with tubeless doesn't seem worth it. I totally get it for wider tyres and proper hardcore gravel or mountain biking, but for road riding I don't get it.
I did my MTB a while ago and it was very similar. Depends on brands of cause. It sucks and imagine the extra weight you build up if you keep topping up every few months as per recommendations. I won't use it in road tyres I'll stick to my latex tubes
1 year on ridenow tpu’s! I order like 10 of them and only had 1 flat because of a massive pothole that threw me over my bars. The elite wheels also survived that crash

New from Park Tool for the low price of $280 😂: the Spare Tire Rotator
That's why I don't use stans

That's A LOT of sealant
Sealantless is the way.
Had very similar issues with a set of tyres id not used in ages …. had to peel it off and clean it up,
This is why I run tubes.
This also happened to my sealant while I forgot about it during the winter 😀
Kind of annoying, but also easy to deal with 🙂
Do you have miss-matched wheels? looks like a disc brake rotor and caliper on the front and rim on the rear.
Tubeless is always a mess. 😂
Fuck tubeless. Who uses this crap on road tires?
This "clinches" it for me, i'm not going tubeless.
I think if you're storing your tubeless for a long time, maybe its best to remove the sealant and use those light weight inner tube
Don’t trust this guy
stop using tubeless. Use TPU tubes instead. Cleaner, easier, more reliable, and easier to repair.
I use these big rubber o rings that fit inside my tire and then I fill with air..
Latex booger
Weigh the yuk after you scrape it out. Probably weighs more than a tube
Made my argument for clinchers and tubes
This looks like you have been deep sea fishing and caught some mysterious creature in your net.
I would say that’s a solid experience 😂😂
Is this road sealant. I've heard some are only meant for mtb foe the pressires
Disgusting
This is why inner tubes rule
Reminder to stay on tubes, thanks.
Tubes all day here. Don't need the mess or the faff or the stuff jizzing allover me or my bike of my riding buddies when you puncture.
That is a hell of a lot of sealant.

Tubes, tubes, tubes. Never going back to tubeless.
A Soluble sealant is available.But still a little Muc ey.But will wash Off.
Just one of the 100s of reasons i will never use tubeless.
Gross! 😝
and some sealant smell terrible after it expire…..
*so i go the stupid route…. put sealant in a normal tube (on my commute wheels….. )

Isn’t tubeless amazing?!?!? 🙄
A reminder to always give your tubless wheels every no and again
Does all sealant turn out like this
